Biblical Recorder, Raleigh, NC, Nov. 25, 1863
Died in Lenoir County, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Cynthia Dunn, near 
Kinston, of cancer of the head, Shadrach Loftin, aged 80 years, 10 months and 
12 days. 

Additional Comments:
According to the Loftin Family Bible, it states that he died in October from 
cancer caused by his hat rubbing on his ear. His death date of November 12 
1863 comes from the book Kinston and Lenoir County published in 1954. The 
author came upon the Loftin-Dunn Cemetery and recorded the dates on the grave 
markers. Unfortunately, the markers for Shadrack Loftin and his wife Sarah, 
have long dissappeared and only 2 foot markers are left with the initials SL 
on both. That was the condition of the cemetery when I, Steven Hill, the great-
great-great grandson of Shadrack Loftin, found it in the 1970s. The original 
house is still there situated across the road from the cemetery located in a 
area known as Jerico north of Kinston.
